THE Balochistan Public Service Commission (BPSC) has recently announced the written examination results for the Provincial Civil Service. Concurrently, the Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC) has conducted a special Central Superior Services (CSS) examination to fill the vacant seats, including those in Balochistan.
However, two pressing concerns need to be addressed. First, the allocation of candidates is determined after interviews have been conducted by both the commissions, and the BPSC withholds the marks ofsuccessfulcandidates.Thislack of transparency is problematic.
Second, the BPSC does not consider waiting candidates if the selected candidates decline to take charge of their positions. This is in contrast to the practice of FPSC and other provincial public service commissions.
To promote fairness and transparency, it is imperative that the authorities in Balochistan review these practices.
Specifically, they should disclose the scores of passing candidates to ensure transparency and accountability.They should also entertain waiting candidates if the selected candidates decline their positions, providing opportunities to deservingindividuals.
This reform is crucial, as many candidates may prefer federal positions over provincial ones.
By implementing these changes, the BPSC can ensure a more equitable and transparent process, ultimately benefiting the unemployed youth of Balochistan.
